Summer is coming, and so is the ice cream tasting period. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry remain the unbeatable staples of the season, but new flavors could soon dethrone them... or not. After the Viagra-flavoured ice cream that can be found in Italy, an American company is marketing ice cream with the…pickle flavor!
Van Holten's, created in 1898, is a company that initially produced vinegar, but has specialized over the decades in the distribution of pickles and more specifically pickles sold individually. After the "Pickle-In-A-Pouch" as they are called, here are the "Pickle Ices", ice cream sticks made with pickle juice. Not very appetizing, put like that…
And there is an explanation:Pickle Ices are above all intended for a certain audience, athletes. Pickle juice is used across the Atlantic to keep you hydrated during intense exercise and reduce the chances of cramping. The company therefore had the idea of transforming the ingredient into ice cream, in which it added, among other things, potassium, magnesium and calcium in order to "replenish" the nutrients lost during a sports session, such as reports the site
Delish . With its rather attractive neon yellow-green appearance and low calorie content, we say why not… After all, Internet users only had eyes for a pickle soup recipe last winter and restaurants devoted to the fruit green are even blooming in New York… If you can combine good health and fashionable food, so much the better!
Pickle Ices are out of stock on Van Holten's Amazon account (maybe the trip to France wasn't a good idea, anyway), but the brand's specialty, Pickle-In- A-Pouch, are
available individually for 9 €, delivery included. It's up to you...
